I am a collector of words

Words feed me, free me, comfort, uplift and heal me. I've been saving my favorites in books, handwritten over the years and thought that perhaps in sharing them, not only am I preserving them for myself, but perhaps others may also find healing in them as I have.

New Beginnings

"It can be helpful to distinguish between depression and the sense of existential emptying. You are beyond emotion. You are sensing your reality and your personhood. The emptiness you sense may not be yours, not even personal. It may the the vacuum of life. You may be standing at the edge of your atmosphere, looking out on the empty space of your unknown world, as though you were in a space station looking out into the universe." Thomas Moore
